About me

SDGs highly linked with Environment, Energy and human resource development, have fascinated me right from my undergrad days. I've been involving in different initiatives working on environment and SDGs and My participation in research  projects that are focusing on Waste to Valuable Chemical, Material Conversion and Water Treatment helped me a lot in consolidating my understanding about  the environment and sustainable development in general.

My research

The  proposed research envisions the use of natural visible light(visible  sunlight,as the UV-contribution in the sun spectrum is less than 5%) as the  energy source for the validation of CO2 into valuable chemicals.The use of  abundant sunlight in sun-drenched regions should be a strong business driver  and opportunity to move into sustainable energy and simultaneously removing  the pollutant CO2 by converting it into useful products.
